Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live as part of a final media push before Tuesday’s presidential election.

Harris came face to face with her impersonator Maya Rudolph during the cold open show on a set set up to resemble the backstage of a rally.

The cold open included a print of former President Donald Trump wearing the orange garbageman vest he wore last week to a campaign event.

Open cuts to Maya Rudolph, Andy Samberg and Jim Gaffigan as Harris, second gentleman Doug Emhoff and Harris’ running mate Governor Tim Walz, respectively.

Dana Carvey also made an appearance as President Joe Biden.

Rudolph’s Harris clears the room, saying she “needs a moment to herself.”

“I wish I could talk to someone instead of me,” Rudolph said to himself in the empty room.

Then the real Kamala Harris appears in the dressing room mirror.

“You and me, sister!” said Harris, grinning from ear to ear after thirty seconds of applause from the live audience.

Harris went on to say, “I’m here to remind you that you have this, because you can do something that your opponent can’t do, you can open doors.”

When Rudolph let out a loud, familiar snicker at Kamala, the contestant said, “I don’t really laugh like that, do I?”

The couple had fun with the name of the veep. Harris said she would end the “drama” of politics with her election and the two said in unison: “Keep Kamala and Carry Onala.”

“I’m going to vote for us,” Rudolph said.

“Is there any chance you are registered in Pennsylvania?” Harris joked.

The veep also participated in the quintessential “Live from New York, It’s Saturday Night!” »

Vice President Harris had a busy schedule on Saturday.

Harris was in Atlanta, Georgia, and Charlotte, North Carolina, earlier today – doing last-minute campaigning in the Peach State in the final 60 hours before the election.

SNL has a history of inviting presidents and presidential candidates.

Former Vice President Al Gore, the late Senator John McCain and Donald Trump each hosted episodes of the historic show. Trump hosted the show in 2004 and in 2015 in the run-up to the presidential election.

Former presidents Gerald Ford and Barack Obama both appeared on the show during their terms in office. Obama in 2018 and Ford appearing in a second season episode of the 50-year-old series in 1976.

The late President George HW Bush appeared on the show in 1994, after his term in office.

Hillary Clinton also appeared in an episode in 2015, in the month before the election.
